Welcome one and all to the Battle Room! A strange portion of the Academy, where no matter how hard you try, or how populated you think it should be, you shall only ever see yourself... and whatever enemies you encounter. Here you shall take part in your final test....for some more final than others. It is here where you will take part in your first Pokemon Battle; should you succeed you will then be allowed to complete your application to Akumu Academy.
Good luck, and don't mind the blood stains.

Battle System
Basics:
- At the start of a battle both Trainers will post the stats for the Pokemon they are going to use. [These include Species, Name, Level, Moves, Etc.]
- Pokemon will take turns Attacking and Defending.
- Which Pokemon Attacks first is decided based on which has the higher SPD stat. In the event Pokemon have an equal SPD stat both Pokemon will attack simultaneously. The winner of this confrontation will then defend, and the loser will be given the change to attack again.
- Accuracy will be determined by rolling 1D20. The Pokemon attacking must roll Higher than the Pokemon defending in order to succeed. If the Pokemon attacking rolls lower than the Pokemon defending the move will fail and their will be no damage.
- Accuracy after the dice roll can be increased by your aim modifier if your attack roll is successful, also referred to as AM. Your initial AM is 5. Your AM may be increased as your journey continues.
- Damage Calculation is done via the following Formula:
((Attacker Accuracy Roll + AM if applicable)- Defender Accuracy Roll) + (Attacker's ATK or SP-ATK - Defender's DEF or SP-DEF.)
- Which Offensive and Defensive Stats are used are determined by the Move. Resistance/Weakness is calculated afterwards.
- When a Pokemon rolls a 20 it is called a Critical. For the remainder of the battle (unless they are switched out or faint) the Pokemon will gain +1 to their rolls for their attack or defense turn, depending on when they rolled the Critical.
- When a Pokemon rolls a 1 it is called a Fumble. For the remainder of the battle (unless they are switched out or faint) the Pokemon will have -1 added to their rolls for their attack or defense turn, depending on when they rolled the Fumble.
Items:
- Items may only be used during your own Attack Turn. Using an Item will also use up your turn. This means you cannot Attack and Use an item.
- TM/HMs and most Key Items cannot be used during Combat. Held Items must be equipped before the start of battle.
- Pokeballs will require the use of 1D20. This is known as a "Capture Roll". To successfully Capture a Pokemon you must roll equal to or higher than the Pokemon's "Capture Rate". To learn a Pokemon's Capture Rate simply ask the Mod presently in charge of the battle. Only Wild Pokemon may be caught.
Death:
- Once a Pokemon's HP reaches 0 it will faint; however HP will not stop dropping simply because it has reached 0. Should at any time your Pokemon's HP drop below -7 they will suffer the death penalty. Once Dead a Pokemon cannot be brought back by Revives or a Pokemon Center. Ghost-Type Pokemon are exempt from the Death Penalty.
CHEATING:
- Deleting a post because of an undesirable roll is considered cheating. As such no student is allowed to delete a post. If you forget to roll simply quote your own post.
A FINAL NOTE:
Pokemon are unintelligible to humans. Your human character may hear the sound of Pokemon, but at this time, they cannot understand them. Pokemon can, however, understand people. Pokemon speech will be denoted with unusual quotation marks. Ex: >Words.< or /Words./
A young lady stepped into the battle sim. Her Helioptile jumping off her shoulder and going more towards the center of the room. "We win, perfect, we lose... might not look to good for us." Electra would scan the room, pristling it ears to look intimidating. "I don’t think that will work here." Pointing to the camera for Electra to see.
A voice would reply right at that moment. Twin voices, as one would laugh and the other would start to whistle right after they spoke, and the camera itself would seem to zoom in and then zoom out. The lens turning as it refocus itself and then unfocus itself again, until both voices went silent at once. Though the silences itself was short lived.
"Are you here to play?" "Do you want to battle?" "Will you win? "Will you lose?" "Play?!" "Battle?"
Two different voices, two different personalities would seem to declare one after the other as though fighting for the trainer and her pokemon's attention. A simplistic nature seem to define them both even though they seemed to be asking for two different things that could easily be one and the same. Though at the end, both voices would seem to blending into one as both voices shouted out.
The young lady would scan the room, waiting for a projection to be shown. When the two voices came she tilted her head. Was it a malfunction or was this part of the system? ”I’m sure Electra would love to play, but we need a battle.” When Electra heard the voices, she jumped for joy. ”Pick your Pokemon and lets have some fun.”
One voice would literally taunt the other as a swirl of lights would seem to appear in the midst of the room that slowly reshaped itself into a actual pokemon. The yellow pokemon would tilt it's blue tipped ears forward as his little tail would bob behind him.
An electric rodent pokemon, it was quite clear that like the two voices ..this sort of pokemon generally roam in pairs.
"Minnnnnnnnnnun" It would cry with a surge of electricity. This pokmeon was making it quite clear that he was here for battle.
The second voice would chime in then.
"So what ...the pokmeon likes to play. The trainer is just a stick in the mud, so don't expect me to stay out of this."
The voice declares before it's twin would interrupt it.
"Do you know how to battle? Do I need to show you how? IF you know, do you want a refresher or should we simply go ..go ..go ..go."
The voice seemed to be cheering the rise to battle."
Name: Minun Gender: M Minun , Lv 2 Nature: Serious Stats: HP: 15/15/PP:18/ATK:7/DEF:7/SPD:9/SP-ATK:8/SP-DEF:9 MOVES: - Nuzzle -Quick Attack, Thunder wave, Growl EXP to be gained: 60
Nodding she looked to the Minun that showed up. Sameish type across the board. "I know how but a refresher never hurts." She knelt down next to Electra to whisper. "That Minun is probably faster and stronger, so we need to out smart it." Standing up she took a few steps back. "Shall I go first?"
Scratching the back of her neck, an auburn-haired girl let the door close behind her as she walked inside the simulation room. A slight grimace crossed her face as she heard the door click shut, but she didn't bother turning to look. Not much point. "Welp, we're here," she commented as she pulled the lone pokeball off her belt. She pressed the button, allowing the ball to split open and release its occupant in a burst of white light. "Mis?" a pokemon looking like a decapitated woman's head wearing a necklace asked inquisitively as she looked around, the true meaning of her words lost upon her trainer. The girl smiled anyway, but not with kindness.
The trainer with the Misdreavus would come into the seemingly empty room. There were some blood stains on the ground but otherwise, it was quiet. Maybe a bit too quiet. A lanky male emerged, footsteps echoing across the empty walls. He yawned while barely glancing at the trainer and her pokemon. "Shall we begin? Do you need a refresher or would you like to start the battle instead?"
[So time to explain a thing or two about battling. I'll be doing this step by step as the battle proceeds.]
[Now as you have likely already see at the beginning of the battle, both participants will post the stats for their Pokemon. Akumu Academy uses a Turn Based combat system. This means that we each take turns Attacking and Defending just to be clear. So when I attack, you defend. When you attack, I defend.]
[Turn order is decided by the SPD stat. Whichever Pokemon has more SPD will take the first Attack Turn. Thusly the Pokemon with the lower SPD will take the first Defense Turn. In the event both Pokemon have the same SPD, they will BOTH Attack at the same time. This is for the First Turn only. Whichever Pokemon HITS will take their Defense Turn after and whichever Pokemon Missed will try to Attack again.]
[Now my SPD is 9 while yours is 8,this means I will attack first and you will Defend.]
[Aim is decided by the roll of 1D20 using the "Post Action" function. Its fairly straight forward. If you roll higher than me your Attack will hit. If you roll lower your Attack will miss.]
[Additionally please note that "Defending" refers to blocking, dodging, or otherwise attempting to make the opponent "miss". It does not involve using any of your Moves.]
[Now recently we added an additional mechanic called the "Aim Modifier". This is a static number which we will add to your Accuracy Roll when attacking. You begin with an A.M of 5. This means for example if you roll a 10 it will become 10+5 and will be a 15 during damage calculation. I'll explain Damage calculation in my next post. Any questions so far?]
The Minun's ears flickered as if he had heard another voice in the background besides the twins. There, it was another person! While the twins ended up being a bit indecisive, the electric rodent knew exactly what to do! He would push off the ground running as his cheeks sparked. It was time to try and Nuzzle his opponent and get the battle started!
Name: Minun Gender: M Minun , Lv 2 Nature: Serious Stats: HP: 15/15/PP:18/ATK:7/DEF:7/SPD:9/SP-ATK:8/SP-DEF:9 MOVES: - Nuzzle -Quick Attack, Thunder wave, Growl EXP to be gained: 60
The young lady watched as the Minun went to work. "Dodge it Electra!” It was all up to Electra at that point. The young woman watching to see how it would go down.
- Battle Information - [Garnet the Misdreavus is ready to battle!]
The girl's smile lessened slightly when another person arrived, from where she could only guess. She breathed out a soft chuckle when the leen male questioned her. "No reason to waste your time. We know how to fight, so let's get this over with," the girl boasted, gesturing with her left hand a bit as she spoke, before glancing over at her ghostly companion. "Isn't that right, Garnet?"
The misdreavus called Garnet gave her trainer a sly smirk in response. "Drehehe~" the ghost giggled as she wafted over to take her place in front of her trainer, bobbing down and up as she went. Once in position, she continued to bob in mid-air and wavered to and fro as she awaited the arrival of her actual opponent.
[Also in regards to the A.M. Your A.M will progressively rise as you continue your adventures here at Akumu. Your A.M and a few other "trainer stats" is linked to your Trainer Rank. You start at Rank 1.]
[Now on to the business of teaching you more about combat.]
[I'll start with the significance of rolls of 20 and 1. When you roll a 20 you get what is known as a Critical. What happens with this is you will obtain +1 to your Accuracy Roll, but only on the turn type it was rolled for. To give an Example if you roll a 20 when Attacking, you will get a +1 to your Attack Rolls for the remainder of the battle. If you roll it while defending it's a Critical Defense, giving you +1 to your Defense Rolls. ]
[Rolling a 1 does the opposite, and is called a Fumble. Instead of +1 you will receive -1 from your rolls, but only for the turn type you fumbled.]
[Please note that if you switch pokemon you will lose all Criticals and Fumbles.]
[Now let's talk "Damage Calculation". Pretty much it does what it says on the tin, "but how does it work?" you might ask! Damage Calculation uses the following formula....]
[To put some numbers into all the words,lets pretend I rolled a 10 and you rolled a 12. The formula fills out like this....]
(12 - 10) + (6 - 7) = 1 DMG
[Now 1 DMG is kinda pitiful, which is exactly why we have the AIM MODIFIER!]
(12 - 10) + 5 + (6 - 7) = 6 DMG
[Much better isn't it? Please keep in mind that only a natural roll of 20 counts as a Critical.]
[Now for the particular move I used Nuzzle is an electric type damaging move which makes it a special attack. The formula for calculating damage is located in the information center which is available to look at in case you might not know how to calculate the damage. So pulled from the information center is how damage will be calculated.
So we'll enter Minun's physical attack which is (7 - 5) - Electra's defense ( 6 ) + Minun's attack roll ( 14 ) - Electra's defense roll (4) = -4 + 10 = 6 / 2 (since Electra resists electric type attacks) = 3 DMG
Electra is at 11/14 HP!
[Any questions so far?]
The Minun had landed a solid hit on the Helioptile. Unfortunately the reptile had a thicker skin then the pokemon had expected. Using electricity against another electric pokemon might have been a mistake. Shaking it off, the rodent stared intently at the Electra. What would she do next? He was light on his feet, ready to dodge at the slightest move from his opponent!

Watching the attack land was slightly painful. She’d seen battles, done battle, but most of them were stronger than Electra. "Electra use pound! Then be ready to dodge." Electra pushed off, moving to its attack.
An interested gleam glistened in the young male's blue gaze. So...This trainer thought she knew how to battle. Great. This was going to be fun. He didn't want to make things too easy for her as he fiddled with the pokeballs at his waist. Time to use... her."Come on out, Storm."
A flash of light and a Sneasel emerged. Though this one's appearance was a bit strange. The pokemon had the typical dark fur of it's species...however it's paws, all four of them were blood red. Like the fur had been stained... and the look in it's eyes were a bit.. crazed. "> Kill.... food.... blood.... KILL!<" Storm snarled, drool dripping from her fangs as she turned to look at the ghost pokemon floating. How inconvenient. Only one way to take care of that...Surprisingly light on her paws, the Sneasel took off running before trying to leap into the air, one claw glowing blue as she was going to start this battle with Ice Punch!
